Cubic yards per minute to Cubic meters per hour conversion

How to convert cubic yards per minute to cubic meters per hour?

To convert cubic yards per minute to cubic meters per hour, you need to follow these steps:

1. Convert cubic yards to cubic meters:

   • 1 cubic yard is equivalent to approximately 0.7645549 cubic meters.

2. Convert minutes to hours:

   • 1 minute is $\frac{1}{60}$ of an hour.

So, to convert 1 cubic yard per minute to cubic meters per hour:

$1 \, \text{cubic yard/minute} \times 0.7645549 \, \text{cubic meters/cubic yard} \times 60 \, \text{minutes/hour}$

$= 1 \times 0.7645549 \times 60$

$= 45.873294 \, \text{cubic meters/hour}$

Therefore, 1 cubic yard per minute is equivalent to approximately 45.87 cubic meters per hour.
